Monitoring



Reasons for river restoration

Mitigation of a pressure Land drainage
Hydromorphology Width & depth variation, Channel pattern/planform, Flow velocities
Biology Macrophytes, Invertebrates
Physico-chemical
Other reasons for the project Landscape enhancement


Measures

Structural measures
Bank/bed modifications construction of nearly completly new streambeds and directing water freely to the alluvial meadows
Floodplain / River corridor Creation of pond
Planform / Channel pattern Channel naturalisation
Other Recovering natural landscapes
Non-structural measures
Management interventions Management of vegetation, More natural water retention, Monitoring strategy
Social measures (incl. engagement)
Other popularization of the project
